SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: This product contains and/or generates
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer or birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
IMPORTANT: Read this owner’s manual carefully
and completely before trying to assemble, operate, or
service this fireplace. Improper use of this fireplace
can cause serious injury or death from burns, fire,
explosions, electrical shock, and carbon monoxide
poisoning.
DANGER: Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead
to death!
This fireplace must be installed by a qualified (certified or licensed)
service person. It has a sealed gas combustion chamber that uses a
coaxial pipe (pipe within a pipe and having the same center) venting
system. It brings in fresh air for combustion through the outer pipe and
combustion gases are exhausted through the inner pipe. If the glass
door assembly and venting pipe are not properly seated, connected,
and sealed, carbon monoxide leakage (spillage) can occur.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:
Early signs of carbon monoxide
poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If
you have these signs, the fireplace may not have been installed
properly.
Get fresh air at once!
Have fireplace inspected and
serviced by a qualified service person. Some people are more
affected by carbon monoxide than others. These include pregnant
women, people with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the
influence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.
Natural and Propane/LP Gas:
Natural and propane/LP gases are
odorless. An odor-making agent is added to the gas. The odor helps
you detect a gas leak. However, the odor added to the gas can fade.
Gas may be present even though no odor exists.
